Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
160 words
A process for waxing a ski to improve its glide characteristics comprising the steps of: applying to a bottom surface of said ski a composition formed by the following steps: (a) melting a wax component until the wax component is in liquid form; (b) removing heat from the melted wax component; (c) adding to the melted wax component a solvent and a polymer of a siloxane selected from the group consisting of dimethyl siloxane and cyclo siloxane, said polymer having a molecular weight between about 100 and about 2,000 and a vapor pressure at 20 C between about 1.5 and about 100 mm of Hg; (d) stirring the mixture of the wax component, the solvent and the siloxane until the mixture is uniform to form said composition; (e) pouring said composition into a stick mold; (f) applying said molded stick to the bottom surface of said ski; and allowing said composition to set on the bottom surface of said ski.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
160 words
A process for waxing a ski to improve its glide characteristics comprising the steps of: applying to a bottom surface of said ski a composition formed by the following steps: (a) melting a wax component until the wax component is in liquid form; (b) removing heat from the melted wax component; (c) adding to the melted wax component a solvent and a polymer of a siloxane selected from the group consisting of dimethyl siloxane and cyclo siloxane, said polymer having a molecular weight between about 100 and about 2,000 and a vapor pressure at 20 C between about 1.5 and about 100 mm of Hg; (d) stirring the mixture of the wax component, the solvent and the siloxane until the mixture is uniform to form said composition; (e) pouring said composition into a stick mold; (f) applying said molded stick to the bottom surface of said ski; and allowing said composition to set on the bottom surface of said ski.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
196 words
A process for waxing a ski to improve its glide characteristics comprising the steps of: applying to a bottom surface of said ski a composition formed by the following steps: (a) melting a wax component in an amount between about 40% and about 80% by weight of the total composition until the wax component is in liquid form; (b) removing heat from the melted wax component; (c) adding to the melted wax component a solvent in an amount between about 5% and about 30% by weight of the total composition and a polymer of a siloxane selected from the group consisting of dimethyl siloxane and cyclo siloxane, said polymer having a molecular weight between about 100 and about 2,000 and a vapor pressure at 20 C between about 1.5 and about 100 mm of Hg, said polymer comprising an amount between about 5% and about 30% by weight of the total composition; (d) stirring the mixture of the wax component, the solvent and the siloxane until the mixture is uniform to form said composition; and (e) pouring said composition into a stick mold; and allowing said composition to set on the bottom surface of said ski.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
196 words
A process for waxing a ski to improve its glide characteristics comprising the steps of: applying to a bottom surface of said ski a composition formed by the following steps: (a) melting a wax component in an amount between about 40% and about 80% by weight of the total composition until the wax component is in liquid form; (b) removing heat from the melted wax component; (c) adding to the melted wax component a solvent in an amount between about 5% and about 30% by weight of the total composition and a polymer of a siloxane selected from the group consisting of dimethyl siloxane and cyclo siloxane, said polymer having a molecular weight between about 100 and about 2,000 and a vapor pressure at 20 C between about 1.5 and about 100 mm of Hg, said polymer comprising an amount between about 5% and about 30% by weight of the total composition; (d) stirring the mixture of the wax component, the solvent and the siloxane until the mixture is uniform to form said composition; and (e) pouring said composition into a stick mold; and allowing said composition to set on the bottom surface of said ski.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
17 words
The process of claim 2, wherein said composition is a wax composition which is in stick form.
